But if Ujiri has the same approach, I'd welcome it with open arms.

maybe ujiri will actually make casey take some assistants that aren't just yes men and can contribute something to the actual x's and o's

white men can't jump wrote: View PostI wasn't wondering about the title that the team gave him 3 years ago (!!). I was wondering what he actually does for the team NOW.
When first brought in, he was very visible. They were using him as a player development coach. He would work out with guys, and be part of practices, and sit behind the bench learning the coaching ropes.
Now? He's listed as a scout now, but when's the last time he was visible or seemed engaged in what's actually going on? Just curious if he has any place with the team going forward, and just in general as a fan of his if he's going to keep being part of the game.
Oh, and btw, for not quite up to date (too many changes in the last week or so) list of staff...

Primer wrote: View PostMy feel for the situation is that Ujiri had the green light to axe Casey if he wanted to, but he didn't. I think Ujiri feels that Casey can still be a great head coach, he just needs the right support around him (assistant coaches, front office, scouting, and players). Basically, I think Ujiri feels like BC set Casey up to fail, and he is actually a better coach than he has shown the past year.@sweatpantsjer

Changes '13

As of last night, Raps vice-president of international scouting, Maurizio Gherardini and scout Alvin Williams told me they had not heard …
League sources say the Raptors have already conducted initial interviews with assistant coach hopefuls Nick Nurse of the Rio Grande Vipers of the D League, former Raptor and current Brooklyn assistant Popeye Jones and ex-NBAer Tyronn Lue. Whether those three have to be re-interviewed once Ujiri is on the job full-time remains to be seen but the future of the current staff is cloudier than it’s ever been.
